Long Description Organized crime is no longer confined to a few countries such as Italy, the United States, and Japan. With the end of the Cold War and the immense technological advances that spread with globalization, organized crime has become much more pervasive, with a major impact in countries such as Russia, Mexico, and South Africa, and with increased operations (and especially co-operation) across borders. This course looks at the dynamics of transnational organized crime, explains why it develops in particular countries, the various forms it takes, and the responses of law enforcement agencies and international institutions.
